Symbol: Atomic
Clock
Lesson: Standards
for accurate measures are recognized as essential by humans.
Illustration:
An atomic clock is such
a reliable standard that it is recognized the world over as the most accurate
truth when it comes to timekeeping. Human judgement is like all the home clocks
and wristwatches in the world, each of which may be anything from “just
slightly off” to “way off.” Is there a reliable standard for correct judgement?
It would have to be someone that is perfect, not affected by the imperfections
that exist in humanity. That person can be only one – Jehovah God. He is
perfect and dependable in every sense of the word. If we “set” our moral clocks
(decision making) by him, we will have the most accurate guidance anyone can
have.
Notes: Why
does this point need to be emphasized? Because men have setup all sorts of measurements
by which they state mankind can guide themselves. There are also false clocks
in the way of demons who now hide themselves in the form of space aliens, angels of light, or
deceased relatives. By such means they try to convince the unwary that they are
here to help. But using any of these alternate “clocks” (measures) will only
lead to disappointment.
